T.I. - Warzone lyrics

[Hook] Can't you see we livin' in a war zone? Guess you don't notice when you livin' in it Like every weekend it's a man down Ain't got no pity for the innocent so I'ma represent it Dedicated, tell 'em,"Hands up, can't breathe Hands up, can't breathe Hands up, can't breathe" Hands up, can't you see we livin' in a war zone? [Verse 1] They left his body swangin' down in Piedmont At a Klan rally the day before, but that ain’t mean nothing Witness said suicide, I said genocide Hey what you got a gun for? Boy you ain’t finna ride They run up on you like Baton Rouge, bet you finna hide That's the difference 'tween us, I'll die to save a million lives Appointed leader when nobody couldn't think of sh** I'll be a martyr if my great grandaughter benefit They pull you over, ask you where your license at Be careful reachin' for it, you know you can die for that And this ain't nothin' new, just got cameras so you can see the sh** Got Dr. King and Abe Lincoln askin' where the freedom at This ain't no equality Man you ain't have no justice on your mind when you shot at me But f** it, this the way it gotta be Hey listen, you won't shoot at them then shoot at me? Boy you are not a G Imagine Trayvon askin' why you followed me Feel threatened, hit him and whip him, that’s when he shot him down Do that to a grown f**in' man, drop where you stand Tell my grandma go on with all that prayin' If it's a God and he in the sky, he looking down, he understand I'm just a man, and I'm wrong for revenge But I don't get 'em it's like tellin' him to gon' k** again Keep f**ing around, it’s going to be on in a minute [Hook] Boy we livin' in a war zone Guess you don't notice when you livin' in it Like every weekend it's a man down Ain't got no pity for the innocent so I'ma represent it Dedicated, tell 'em,"Hands up, can't breathe Hands up, can't breathe Hands up, can't breathe" Hands up, can't you see we livin' in a war zone? [Verse 2] This goes to the white boy that ran in the old church I hope you get slow murked, and they torture you slow first Ran in our place of worship to slaughter our grandma Won't go kamikaze for that, well what would you die for? Hold up... I'll wait, I'll wait Heard it from buddy who took for the fall for Watergate The war on d** was just a war on us Give us all these guns, give us all this dust Change all them laws, lock all of us up Went from Freeway Ricky, on to BMF (free Meech) Then hip hop came, that's when we got rich Cause white kids gravitated to it like all of us did And that's when they got slick Invented the technology to take our sh** Diluted all of the artistry Pardon me, somebody tell me what happened to Alton Sterling, k**ed Philando right in front of the girl And the world saw Everybody's reaction was, "Hell naw" This modern day slavery, the prison publicly traded And the jig's up The Constitution and Emancipation Proclamation's just a f**in' piece of paper [Hook] Can't you see we livin' in a war zone? Guess you don't notice when you livin' in it Like every weekend it's a man down Ain't got no pity for the innocent so I'ma represent it Dedicated, tell 'em,"Hands up, can't breathe Hands up, can't breathe Hands up, can't breathe" Hands up, can't you see we livin' in a war zone?
